10″ doesn’t refer to the size of the screen, but to the distance the UI’s usable at (for example, MCE is a 10′ UI…usable at 10′). Screens will likely be more like 6″ or 7″.

How do you wear a Tablet with a 10″ screen? I carry mine (10″ screen, 12-hour battery, and instant-on using standby, BTW) in a padded ultra-slim sling pack, which is close but still not “worn”.
